The order in which these commands are run matter, [1] but the process is idempotent. This means it is possible to re-apply all of the following steps.

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30usability-misc

2. Install command-not-found.

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ↑ Also apt update cannot be skipped since package contents files need to be downloaded.
  2. ↑ 
    Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-deb::DefaultEnabled false;

    breaks command-not-found because it requires /var/lib/apt/lists/*Contents* to exist.
